I will try to remove some labels, if it is under. I replaced green one with other blue card because I have total 5 blue cards. I wold like to get 4 of the to work for my new mythtv setup. And then to setup another slave mythtv backend for other two. I tried your advice with this lines in /etc/modprobe.d/options options dvb_core dvb_shutdown_timeout=0 options bttv i2c_hw=1,1,1,1 card=0x71,0x71,0x71,0x71 options dst dst_addons=32,32,32,32 With these lines I can get to work three cards of 4 (all ver 1.0 and blue), but I can boot my system just 1/3 times. Other 2/3 of boot procedures system just hangs.
